This quality control material is for the analysis of T-2 and HT-2 toxins in Animal Feed.
Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites produced by fungi on agricultural commodities in the field or during storage. It is estimated at 25% of the world's food crops are affected, resulting in large commercial losses. Mycotoxins can cause serious health problems (including some being suspected carcinogens) and so are tightly regulated across the world. Mycotoxin contamination is the largest cause of rapid alerts raised against imported food products. Fapas has introduced multi-mycotoxin proficiency tests as well as those for emerging mycotoxins.
T-2 & HT-2 toxins are highly toxic when inhaled. They are also unlike other mycotoxins due to their ability to be absorbed through intact skin. As such, there is an increased need to provide effective testing arrangements from which to highlight any high levels of HT-2 or T-2 in foodstuffs.
Animal feed is responsible for a large quantity of the nutritional intakes of livestock. This is turn has a large effect on the quality of livestock produced. As such it I important to ensure animal feed is of high enough quality, and safe to consume, to ensure producers can maintain adequate reward for their livestock.
To achieve the long term effective testing requirements needed to satisfy regulators, robust quality assurance programmes should be utilised. Fapas quality control materials can be used to standardise your testing practices, from which to achieve credible, repeatable results. Quality control materials can also be useful when calibrating instrumentation, to mitigate any risks of unconscious bias creeping into your results.
